has large sale and it's business is con- ducted with both ability and enter prise by w. H. Anderson.
 The Bethesda spring has the advan- tage of being the ''original" spring of Waukesha, as their advertisement puts it, this being the spring whose vir- tues were made known by Colonel Dunbar, who gave it the name, which was an inspiration. Under any other name his success in establishing it's virtues would have been more diff cult. Owing to it's beautiful park and its proximity to many of the large boarding houses, as well as to the health-giving properties of its water, the Bethesda is the most frequented of any of the springs. Its business is managed by Colonel Jones, who is better known as prominent Illinois politician.
 The White Rock spring, farther from the town, does an extensive busi- ness, in bottled water especially. The water of this spring flows from the limestone rock, which crops out all around it. In this large bottling- house the busy scene corroborated the statement of the superintendent that the works were crowded to their ut- most capacity, and that they were un- able to get single case ahead of their orders. The manager of this spring. c. A. Welch, is pushing trade with the vigor and vim for which Chicago is noted.
 Waukesha is provided with churches of all the leading denominations Presbyterian, Congregational, Baptist, Methodist, Episcopal and Catholic, and with excellent public schools. Carroll College, an academy under the control of the Presbyterian Synod of Wisconsin, crowns a commanding site overlooking the village from the south by handsome edifice of stone. It has two staunch banks-the National Exchange, of which R. M. Jameson is president and w. P. Saw yer cashier, and the Waukesha Nat ional, with A. J. Frame president and II. M. Frame, cashier.
 With one daily newspaper-the Republican-and five well-conducted weeklies-the Freeman, Dem0crat,
 World, Jou1naland News-Waukesha is well supplied with newspapers, while very minute and comprehen- sive account is kept of all matters of local interest.
 It has admirable railroad connec- tions, three trunk lines crossing each other here, the Wisconsin Central, Chicago and Northwestern and Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul. The Chicago and Northwestern railway. which is the direct route from Chicago to Waukesha, and having branches to nearly every important city and every attractive resort in the north west, is ill it's equipment and manage ment far ahead of any eastern line Colonel E. r. Wilson, general passen- ger agent, is one of the ablest men in American railway circles, while Mr. w. B. Kniskern, assistant general pas- senger agent, is a gentleman who not only studies the interests of the con- pany, but provides for the comfort of the public. The beautiful parlor cars of the Northwestern line are arranged for elegance, coolness, ease and clean Illness, and however dusty the day the passenger reaches his destination free from the usual discomfort of summer railway travel. The view of Lake Michigan along this line is, in itself, calculated to keep one cool. Here also are situated the large car-shops of the Wisconsin Central road giving en- ployment to hundreds of skilled me- chanics. Waukesha is certainly a most desirable place to live in, and it is not surprising to learn that accessions are constantly being made to it's population from among we'll -to-do people who make this place their home after having looked the country over with a view of choosing the most satis1ac- tory place for a permanent residence Of course, even Waukesha has it's draw backs. The streets are at the present time badly torn up and abounding in ridges, owing to the lay ing of gas- pipes and water mains, but this is only transitory condition and by another year there is the promise that these disadvantages will be over come, and driving through the shaded streets will again become the delight which it has been heretofore.
 Then there is much still remaining of the anticipated and uncomfortable rough stone sidewalks, which were the pride of the village thirty years ago, when any sidewalk was better than a cow-track in the long grass. These, however, are rapidly disappear ing, and are giving place very largely to a superior asphaltum pavement, which is being laid by the Badger State Paving Company, of which c. A. Lyon, of Waukesha, is the ener- getic and capable manager. Follow
